Assessments

You will be required to demonstrate you have gained the knowledge and skills relevant to the qualification. How you are assessed will vary dependent on the course you choose. Your trainer will provide you with detailed information on the type and nature of assessments at the start of the course. It is the students’ responsibility to read the information and clarify with the trainer any concerns they may have regarding the nature and/or timing of the assessments for the course/program as a whole and for each of the units.

Skills recognition

You may already have some of the skills and knowledge relevant to the course that you have chosen to study. Skills recognition has two main applications, Credit Transfer incorporating National Recognition and Recognition of Prior Leaning. National recognition (Credit Transfer) is the process whereby a student automatically has credit for units of competency that they have completed at any other Registered Training Organisation in Australia. If you have been assessed as being competent in any relevant units of competency, you will need to provide a certified copy of your transcript/statement of attainment.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) acknowledges skills and knowledge gained as a result of work and life experience. Applications for Recognition of Prior Learning are based on whole competencies.

Supportive learning environment

We are committed to providing a learning environment that drives successful outcomes for students. This includes providing appropriate facilities, learning materials, monitoring and evaluating progress, ensuring staff are knowledgeable and experienced and issuing qualifications in line with national standards.

Cancellation Policy

Every effort is made to ensure that courses run as advertised, however we do reserve the right to alter any arrangements. You will be notified as soon as possible in the event of a course cancellation.

Refunds and transfers can only be arranged in limited circumstances. Written requests detailing extenuating circumstances for participants withdrawing from courses will be considered at the discretion of Wesley Vocational Institute.
